All excellent questions; unfortunately I only have the answer to one: I blog because the people around me got tired of listening to me talk to myself....
I'm with you on the first question. I'm not a Cowboys fan, but anything that could potentially hurt the Patriots is fine by me.
I think we've forgotten Cory Lidle because he was a journeyman most of us felt no real connection with. It's sad when any player dies, but it hits home more when it's someone we're familiar with.
I think Goose Gossage is more likely to make the Hall because he spent the majority of his career in the era where closers worked several innings and not just one. Lee Smith started out that way but in the second half of his career he was mainly a one-inning guy.
I blog because I need an outlet for my opinions on sports. I also enjoy the community here.
OK Dudski - On the Coack K question, he is in line right behind Bobby Knight.
On the womens soccer question. Its for the same reason I watch womens golf rather than men's unless Tiger is playing. (gee, it never used to be that way.)
And on the Pirate question, probably for the same reason I buy Devil Rays season tickets.
You mentioned the one and only reason I watch very little college basketball anymore; their three-point line is a joke. Well, along with the fact that it's hard to identify with the players nowadays because the best ones always leave school early, and we'll never see teams like Indiana, '75 & '76, North Carolina, 82 & 83, etc.
